Yesterday I gave a webinar which
talked about how to leverage the latest version of the Netbeans IDE to
develop RESTful Web Services and clients deployed on Glassfish with
MySQL. The talk gave an overview of the design process for a sample
RESTful Pet Catalog service using JAX-R, and discussed how to
build 3 sample clients for the Pet Catalog service, one using the
Dojo
AJAX framework , one using Comet and one using JavaFX.

Catalog using JAX-RS and dojo here

service here:a
RESTful Pet CatalogJAX-RS provides a
standardized API for building RESTful web services in Java. Central to
the RESTful architecture is the concept of resources identified by
universal resource identifiers (URIs). The API provides a set of
annotations which you can add to Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs)
to expose web resources identified by URIs Dojo – An
open-source DHTML toolkit written in JavaScript. The Dojo Toolkit
includes many utilities that go beyond Ajax. For example, the dojox.comet
module simplifies programming Comet applications.
